September 28th, 2010Why can aluminum and steel casings not be used for reloading?

Max asked:
I’m assuming that brass is flexible, expands and then bounces back to it’s original shape. But if aluminum and steel expand and don’t contract wouldn’t they cause guns to jam more often for example?

A gun shop owner told me he can’t get handguns, or reloading equipment now. Is this a bad sign?

He told me he can still get shotgun primers. In fact, while I was talking to him, this couple came in and asked for reloading supplies. He said he couldn’t help them. Every concealable gun in America has been bought up. What is up with that?

Synika asked:
can the same equipment be used to reload rounds for a 40 caliber pistol?
what are the dangers of firing reloaded shots from an amateur?
where would one get the gun powder to make reloaded shots?
in the long run i assume it would be cheaper than buying rounds every time if all one is doing is shooting for recreation.

Books and ammo and reloading?
October 26th, 2009
David K asked:
I just started working in the sporting goods at a walmart and I love it, dealing with guns and ammo and knives just makes me happy. I wish I could deal with handguns too, but I’ll probably try to go work at a gun shop or a bigger sporting goods store like Cabellas or something. For now though I really want to get as much info on all the different types of ammunition, like different tips, powder, size, etc., like what makes a bullet a bullet and how are they classified, etc.

After I learn as much as I can on ammo, I”ll go on to learn as much as possible with gunsmithing, but that’ll be alot later on. Any help on good books would be appreciated, thanks.

.357 magnum reloading?
July 30th, 2009
abuelo asked:
Does anyone have specific data/experience for a .357 magnum load for a 2,5” barrel?
I’m looking for a safe magnum load with slightly faster burning rate powders (because of the short barrel), only for self-defence, with 125 and 158 SJ-SP .358” bullets.
So far I had best results with heavier bullets (SJ and lead), but i been told that the lighter ones shoud have been a better choice in such a snub nose. Any hints about that?
Which powders (hodgdon, Vihtavuori, WW, Nitrokemia Rex)?

I’m a long time reloader, but i’d like to read your opinion and experiences.
Specifically, the gun is a superb SW vintage model 19.
Thank you in advantage for your answers.
Thanx Violation Challenged – I know the matter about k-frame and full-load magnum diet. I usually shoot less than magnum loads (for paper)
about the manual, i already noticed some. but the question is: shoud I choose a (for ex) v-N110 or a less progressive powder? how many fps can i take out of the 2,5″ barrel? can a short barrel and a less progressive powder give a magnum load?
We know that .357 mag use progressive powder and between 6″ and 2,5″ there’s a huge loss of fps… i would like to fix a little the loss of power with the right components.

is it safe to fire a 25 after it has sat for 25 years without being shot?
July 27th, 2009
CleoCATra asked:
The gun, clip and box of bullet was stored in a plastic grocery bag for the last 25 years and hasn’t been shot. The clip was loaded but NOT IN the gun. Those bullets turned green so I removed them. Is it safe to reload with the bullets from the box (they look like new bullets) and is it safe to target shoot with the gun.????
It hasn’t been cleaned or used in about 26 years.
